Badass Ballerina

chapter sixteen~fear of flying

Third person's POV

Taking up of the ground, Octavia's heart leaping. Her fear of flying kicking in, as she began drumming her fingers. Ryder looked at her.

"You okay octopus?" He asks her.

Her eyes squinted shut,"...no."

"Your mum said she'd give you some medicine so that you go to sleep." Ryder suggests.

"I know but you'd be bored. " She looks at him.

"I'd rather have my girlfriend feel better plus I can read, plus look what I found." He grins holding a leather bound book.

Her eyes widen, her diary.

"Give me that here." She reaches over to grab it.

"No." He smirks.

"Fine." She groans turning her head towards the window before quickly closing the shutter, leaning against it and closing her eyes.

He sits there reading a book he got for summer reading well one Mrs Gonzalo recommended.

It's a great book, about a boy who is bitten and thinks of it as a curse then realises what a gift it really is. The plane soon arrives and they go over to the hotel.

"So we're all going out for a meal like a family?" Octavia giggles.

"Yes we can be the newly weds coming to see them." He winks.

"In your dreams." She throws the cushion at him.

"Yes I can't wait, new shirt and tie I look fit don't I." Ryder does a twirl in the mirror before he begins to tousle his hair.

He turns around to look at her, oh my god. She looks up at him sorting out the garter clips, a black corset set has his eyes nearly bursting.

"Wow, what the hell?" Ryder looks at her, "Please don't say that's what your going out in."

"No, its for later.'' She winks.

*******

At the restaurant later, Ryder glances next to him. This beautiful hot sexy girl in all black figure hugging dress.
He's sat in a shirt and tie with a blazer, he's hot. Blushing as Octavia sneaks secret glimpses of him.

His hand on her thigh, as the whole family all begin to order all dressed nicely. The waiter keeps on looking at Ryder, Octavia notices getting a bit jealous.

" Ryder I think the waiter likes you." She whispers in his ear.

"I noticed, not my type. Plus I have you don't I." He whispers.

"So how long have you guys been together?" Max asks.

"About a month or so." Ryder grins.

"You don't count the days you make them count, because the time you speak to that person could be the last." Octavia says and everyone looks over at her,"What? Its true like when I was kidnapped so what if I'd have been killed. Say if you hated me then you could never take that back."

"That's deep." Danielle smiles.

"Its true." Eduardo says sipping his wine.

"Well let's change the conversation, tomorrow I plan on going shopping." Tris grins a big toothy five year old grin.

"Tris your five years old." Esmay frowns.

"Good she's starting early otherwise we'll end up with another octopus." Clarissa jokes.

Octavia laughs and then raises her glass,"A toast to these memories, and many more. Without the upbringing from you guys we wouldn't be here well I'd probably be in a million dollar penthouse sat being a melancholy depressed reject. But that isn't the point, I don't think I've ever thanked you for adopting me. So thank you."

"Cheers." They all clink glasses.

The conversation flows like the ocean, as they eat their food. Octavia suddenly realises that her life is better than it could have ever turned out.
